Welcome to McKenzie’s Boiler Blog!

Posted in Welcome! by Boiler Guy on March 3rd, 2008

Some would say that boilers, boiler room equipment, boiler parts and service are all very boring subjects but, we take issue with that. Just look around and you will find steam boilers and hot water boilers operating in most of the places you visit. They are used to heat office buildings, schools and hospitals. They provide steam for processes like steel production, the food industry and chemical plants.

For some, this is transparent technology; they don’t see it so they don’t really think about it. But just wait until the boiler goes out on a cold winter day or a factory goes off line because the steam boiler can not deliver. Then the importance of the boiler becomes very real, not transparent at all.

Our goal with this Boiler Blog is to discuss boilers in their entirety. We want questions and comments. We want to refer to your sites and your recommended links. So, please, join the discussion.

    What HP boiler do I need to evaporate 4675 pounds of water per hour in an oven

    Hi Andy,

    I don’t know exactly what you are looking to do by your question?
    1 boiler HP = 34.5#/hr. You will need to take into account system losses, efficiency of heat transfer method in your oven and other steam loads.

    4675#/hr / 34.5#/hr = 136bhp; But you have to also figure in all of your losses, efficiency and other loads.

    I hope this information helps?
